Everybody's favorite commercial Linux distribution is back with a new release.

Studio 13.37 (pronounced "leet") is based on Slacko 5.3.3, which in turn is based on Slackware 13.37 (hence the version number). However, it is not a remaster, but built from scratch from the ground up.

New features:

- 32- or 64- bit realtime kernel (3.2.5-smp-preempt-rt)
- all audio production and video editing programs updated to latest stable version or better, compiled specially for Studio 13.37
- contains 14% Slacko 5.3.3, tiny RAM-based OS built from Slackware 13.37
- performance exceeds that achieved by all previous versions
- “multimedia extras” pack that can be loaded and unloaded on-the-fly
- experimental apps, such as Open Octave Midi and Qtractor, included
- rtirq for automatic rt-audio tuning at boot
- no proprietary software
- dssi-vst, fst, and WINE-RT for running VST plugins
- pre-configured so REAPER can be installed with a click, without having to adjust audio preferences

Somebody ought to buy this and then upload it and make it available for free. I guess you do get a flashdrive for the price, but an iso t to download would be nice too. I mean, if i were to sell nice LightScribed copies of my puplet on ebay, i would still keep the iso available for download at no charge. Its a tough one: the spirit of linux vs a reasonable reward for ones efforts.Last edited by TLM on Tue 17 Apr 2012, 08:41; edited 1 time in total

Why does the GIMP needs to be set in the Multimedia Menu instead of the Graphics Menu (did already irritate me on puppy studio 3.3)?

Why does... (same Question on InkScape and Xara)?

Does the openshot find the libmp3lame (in puppy studio 3.3 it doesn't)?

Did you create a video using openshot?

Is there any way to get this one, installed on USB Stick, without the need to use online-banking (i do prefer not to submit any of my bank-account-data using the internet)?_________________LazY PuppyRSH's DNASARA B.

I am no copyright lawyer, but I believe this is perfectly consistent with the spirit of gpl and open-source software, that it can be used as the basis of a commercial release if proper credit is given. In fact, that it is based on Slacko 5.3.3 is an indication of the quality of Slacko 5.3.3 and may bring Slacko and Puppy to the attention of more people. I think many Puppy users and members of the Puppy community would want to be notified of Studio's availability.

(The previous version, by the way, was based on Lucid 5.2.8, as I recall anyway, and I was happy to see it.)

Studio seems very much like what Crossover does; they begin with the open source wine and then add tweaks and convenience features. I bought Crossover because I think it adds function to wine. Of course, they also feed all of their tweaks and fixes back into the wine project.

CodeWeavers believes that you should be able to run your favorite Windows software on whatever operating systems suits your fancy. We sell our CrossOver product, for Mac and Linux, to make that possible. CrossOver is powered by an amazing open-source technology called Wine, and we are proud supporters of The Wine Project. We are headquartered in a 100-year old foundry building in St. Paul, Minnesota, with developers worldwide.
